Why Choose Gold Home Inspection
At Gold Home Inspection, we use professional inspection equipment and technology to help evaluate accessible areas and components of the property.
Depending on the property and inspection, technology may include:
- Drone-assisted roof inspections
- Thermal imaging
- Digital inspection and reporting technology
- Remote-control equipment for difficult-to-access crawl spaces
- Detailed digital photographs
- Specialized testing equipment
For example, drone technology can allow us to obtain visual information about roof areas that may be difficult or unsafe to access directly.
Technology does not replace an experienced inspector. Instead, we use technology as another tool to help document conditions and provide useful information to our clients.

Detailed Home Inspection Reports
We believe an inspection report should be useful after the inspection is over.
Gold Home Inspection provides detailed digital reports with photographs and explanations of observed conditions. Important findings are organized so that clients can more easily understand what was observed and which issues may deserve additional attention.
Our reports are designed to help you:
- Understand the condition of the property
- All defects are published in the first few pages of the report
- Identify significant defects and safety concerns
- Prioritize maintenance and repairs
- Discuss concerns with your real estate professional
- Obtain additional evaluations when appropriate
- Make a more informed real estate decision
We also encourage clients to ask questions. A home inspection can involve unfamiliar equipment, construction methods, and terminology. Our job is to explain what we observe in understandable language.

Why Choose Gold Home Inspection
Home Inspections for Buyers, Sellers and Investors
Gold Home Inspection provides inspections for a variety of residential property situations.
Home Buyer Inspections
A buyer's home inspection can help you understand the condition of a property before completing your purchase.
We inspect readily accessible components and systems, including areas such as the roof, foundation, structure, electrical system, plumbing, heating and cooling systems, interior, exterior, attic, and other accessible components.
Seller and Pre-Sale Inspections
A pre-sale inspection allows homeowners to learn about potential problems before putting their property on the market.
Knowing about issues in advance can give sellers more time to evaluate repairs, obtain estimates, prepare disclosures, and work with their real estate professional.
Investment Property Inspections
Marty also has extensive personal experience with investment properties. Gold Home Inspection works with investors purchasing rental properties and other residential investments.
An inspection can help investors identify major defects, maintenance concerns, safety issues, and components that could affect future ownership costs.
New Construction Inspections
New construction does not automatically mean that every component has been installed correctly or that every detail has been completed properly.
Gold Home Inspection provides inspections for new homes, including inspections during applicable stages of construction and final inspections before closing.
Radon Testing
Radon is an invisible, odorless radioactive gas that can occur in homes. Testing is the only way to determine the radon level in a particular property.
Gold Home Inspection provides professional radon testing for Louisville-area properties.
Termite and Wood-Destroying Insect Inspections
Wood-destroying insects can cause significant damage to residential structures. Our termite and WDI-related services can help identify visible evidence and conditions that may warrant further evaluation.
FHA 203(k) and Other Specialized Services
Gold Home Inspection also provides specialized inspection-related services, including FHA 203(k) consulting and other property inspection services.
If you have a property with unusual circumstances or a specialized inspection need, contact us to discuss the property and determine whether we provide the appropriate service.

How to Prepare Your Home for an Inspection
If you are selling your home, the home inspector's visit should be considered part of the sales process for every home in Louisville, Kentucky. Before the home inspection, it’s important to address any known issues or repairs. This includes fixing leaky faucets, repairing damaged walls or floors, and replacing any broken appliances. Providing information about known issues before the inspection allows the inspector to evaluate those areas more carefully. If there are any major repairs that need to be made, it’s best to disclose them to the inspector beforehand so they can be prepared to evaluate them thoroughly.
